Balin
Balin is a browser automation library for Kotlin. It's basically a Selenium-WebDriver wrapper inspired by Geb.
Rationale
Geb is a wonderful library that allows its users exploit the power of the Selenium-WebDriver API with incredible ease. As a software developer who spends a lot of time working with browser automation, I've been lucky enough to work with Geb and am now learning Kotlin. I'm taking this chance to learn this new JVM-based language and to contribute to its ecosystem a tool that's very useful to me.
Usage

Templates
The Balin-Cucumber-TestNg-Allure template can be of help in order to avoid the boilerplate required for Balin's integration with the most common frameworks used in software testing.

Note
This project has been conceived for research purposes but I don't dismiss the possibility of making it a production-ready library if it gets to that point.
